Description

The route can be done up or down. From Namche several routes go up either towards Everest Base Camp or the adjacent valley. I considered the arrival point the top of Namche where route to EBC and acclimatization split. 

This is normally done in about 10hrs as a two day trek (downhill) Or as a 3 to 4 days trek up if acclimatization is required. If done uphill, the total ascent is around 1900m+. 

It is in the popular Sagarmata National park but it is the Gokyo and Gokyo lake variation. 

It is a good route to have on the FKT website for subsequent attempts.
